I have suspected my Norton at work had been 'disabled' for a few days. I had those classic emails from 'Microsoft' saying 'download this patch immediately', which always before had been flagged as a virus, but all the sudden Norton didn't show anything at all. Nor did I open them. When I tried the site mentioned in post # 20 the scan revealed I had a 'Netsky'. Norton did not catch it, nor had AdAware, nor had Spybot. Then at home this evening I tried the same scan, (which by the way is free). It found 4 trojans, all by the same name.

That's exactly what happened here too. Today, I got 2 Netsky, one Downloader.Psyme and one other virus. We've never had this much trouble. Something got in our email and messed it all up. I spend the last two days working on our email and it's still not 100% but at least I can get an idea of what emails are out there and can now get most of them. Almost everything shut down this morning so I reinstalled Nortons and it looks like that fixed 98% of it so crossing my fingers. Thanks to everyone for your help. I knew I could count on you good folks. Sorry, I was unable to get back in a timely manner but you know how things are when the puter gets sick. I really appreciate everything and thanks again!

I think mine was in the email also. Someone sending a joke around but Norton did not flag it.

Yes, I hate it when the 'puter gets 'sick.'
